[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 82322, member: 1572"] Hi Lani, Bhavan has already given you fantastic advice here, but just to give you a bit of perspective my advice would actually be to focus on applications. Finding the right balance when doing your degree can be tough, but personally I always prioritised my applications wherever possible. At the end of the day, law firms don't really have a preference between degree grades. As long as you secure a 2:1 overall, and maintain relatively consistent 2:1's across your modules, you'll be fine. I also found that in my second cycle I was writing far better applications because I'd been through the process before and knew what to do/not to do.
